: LPGA Tour player Kelly Tan believes that Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club’s West Course will furnish a fitting challenge for the world’s top players when they tee up at the US$3 million Maybank Championship later this month.
The Maybank Championship marks the return of the LPGA Tour, which is the world’s premier ladies golf circuit, to Malaysia after six years. The last LPGA Tour event to be held here was the 2017 Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia, won by American Cristie Kerr at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club’s East Course with a 15-under-par total.
Originally designed by Nelson & Haworth Golf Course Architects, the West Course opened for play in 1991 and over the years has established itself as one of the top championship layouts in the country. Tan singled out Holes 14 and 16, both short dogleg left par-fours, as interesting holes to watch come tournament week. “They are both good risk and reward holes, and it will be exciting for spectators to watch if the tees get moved up to make them driveable.”
